Today I deleted some content from the HTML pane and was humored to have this message pop up:

 

 

So "save the changes" actually means "go ahead and delete it", while "don't save it" actually means "I want to keep it".  Only a programmer would come up with language like this . 

 

Seriously though, that should be changed to an industry standard type that doesn't encourage mistakes nor require the user to read it 3 times and then click on one hoping they've interpreted it correctly.  Personally I don't believe it should even be mention that content was deleted, because you need to have a universal message that applies to ANY HTML changes, whether a line was added or deleted.  It s

Here are some things I'd like to see in the Shift+F2 "floating" edit text box.

 

(1)  make it movable, i.e. truly floating.  (put a border around it that the mouse can grab on to?)

(2)  maybe make keystrokes work more like they would in a grid cell.

 

For example,

 

(1) in a grid cell Enter saves changes to the item and creates a new item.  In the Edit box, it inserts a carriage return.

(2) you can't tab down to the OK button in the edit box.  Tab inserts a tab in the text.

I wish to duplicate – create a completely new copy of – an item at the third level in a hierarchy. I key control and C and choose option five in the dialogue which follows:

5- Selected items and their sub-items
(in XML format, to make an exact copy of the items
and all their sub-items and paste it in an IQBase)

I key control and V and choose the first (unnumbered) option in the dialogue which follows:

Paste under the current parent, as NEW items
(i.e. new items will be independent from the original
items)

Tools > Options > Email

Item > Send Email

 

Both look intriguing but I can't find any documentation that tells me exactly what the capabilities are or how they work.

 

Thanks

I am entering items one after another in a grid, and soon i reach the bottom of the grid.  When I am at the bottom of the grid, and entering a new item, I cannot see all the text entered into the item field.  I would like to be able to scroll the grid past the last item in the grid, so I can bring the bottom item closer to the middle of the grid display.  I found several workarounds but they are clumsy.
